LCIA results of USEtox and Eco-Indicator'99 corrected!

Von: R. Hischier

The original calculation of the database ecoinvent v2.2 contained errors in the LCIA factors and thus also the LCIA results of the two following assessment methods: USEtox (without LT emissions only) and Eco-Indicator'99 (all three perspectives, with and without LT emissions)! This week we made a new calculation, and replaced the LCIA resuls in the database with the corrected data.

The LCI data (unit process / cumulative data) did not change, as the error was on the level of the LCIA methods.

In case you use the ZIP-Files from the "Files" section, you need to download again the three LCIA-files (i.e. the files EI_DATA_V2.2_LCIA_i_1...3.ZIP) that have been replaced as well.

We appologize for any inconveniences that this error caused to your work.

  
on behalf of the ecoinvent Management,
